A Disorienting Listen for Something So Familiar, as Eldjudnir's Self Titled Remaster Abrades the Cleanliness in Favor of the Grime. If you're not a fan of clean vocals and might have written this album off because of it, it's worth a new listen.

Do you like musical theater, Tim Burton movies, black metal and clean vocals? Then I have a new album for you. An Ill Guest by Now I’ve Done It will likely scratch that very niche taste of yours.

Ingurgitating Oblivion’s Ontology of Nought promises nothing but delivers everything—dense, unpredictable, and weird in all the right ways.

At this point, I’ve accepted that finding music I love is going to be a manual process. There’s no one app or feed that’s going to solve it for me.

Rye’s Знание Breaks My Usual Listening Habits with Bleak, Slow Soundscapes

It's after albums like this that make we wonder what it is exactly that makes me like a certain album. There are some out there they I should like that just don't do it for me, and others that don't fit the mold of things that I like but end up somewhere in my rotation. Знание is one of those that don't fit my usual style - slow, bleak, and heavy album that blends black metal, doom, and dark…
